I absolutely loved this premiere. It was probably one of the better ones since the series premiere. I didn't think we would get a virus as the "unseen danger" but I think it is really good idea to go this way. If you saw the Talking Dead we get some military and medical characters so it should make for an interesting build throughout the season. Also, I want that Governor back bad.

Didn't enjoy first half but liked second even with the Wal-Mart (falling prices) walkers. Thought it was neat we didn't see zombie hubby head, think governor is the threat they are saving for 4.5, think he is messing with the water, and like that Rick is not in charge nor apparently a council member.

I think there's something in the water. I don't know if it's natural (without the regular treatment most of our water gets nowadays, coupled with floating dead, etc. there's no telling what kind of pathogens might be breeding) or sabotage (by the Governor or someone else) but several times during the episode the camera seemed to focus on water standing in the barrels.

As for the walkers and the helicopter, I suppose it could have crashed (or landed heavily), weakening the roof and everyone inside died. With no food in sight they just call kind of stood around until ENBG (Expendable Nameless Black Guy) had a crisis of will and decided to ring the dinner bell. Then all the walkers stomping around, trying to get at the movable feast below, managed to conveniently find every single one of the weakest spots.

I call BS on the Helicopter on the roof. Its tail was missing. The blades where gone from the top. It did not just drop out of the sky and land nicely on that roof. It crashed, but this is where I ask my question.

How the hell did a Helicopter crash land on a roof of a building and not fall through? Those "Walkers" where up there for a little/good while. Plus the roof being weak in one spot, only to be week in other spots. That just made it look dumb. HOLY SHIT EVERYONE!!! IT'S RAINING WALKERS!!!!

@earthmanprime Yeah, telegraphed. Like the one question that Rick failed to asked Clara on the way to her campsite..."Is he dead?" It's not like he hasn't met anyone saner who kept a whole barn full of walkers or anything.

Recovering alcoholic former army medic...you can tell he's nervous because there's only room for one black man on this series. That's also why Tyreese is jittery.

Another walker that can bite through denim.

So with what happened to the kid, is someone sabotaging things, contaminating stuff? I don't buy the airborne virus theory yet, maybe because when that happens, there's no reason to go on at all.

@OneMinuteGalactica It looked like a Chinook, so could easily have fit 30-40 folks in there (maybe more with middle seating attached). Since it was a military evacuation area, could have been an evacuating aircraft that crashed while full of civilians?
